Chapter 725: The Heroes of the Sea
After receiving an urgent call from the emperor, Count Fernando, who had already gone to bed, got up and dressed, and hurried to the palace in a carriage.
The newly built palace was lit with countless candles, and Count Fernando strode down the long corridor, where he finally met His Majesty the Emperor with a happy face.
The Emperor of Spain handed Fernando the nautical notes in his hand, and after he read them, he asked directly, "When will you be able to go?" ”
Fernando clutched his notebook and replied in a deep voice: "When the tide rises!" ”
The emperor looked at his most trusted general, and Man Han said expectantly: "I hope you can find the Fountain of Youth." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, my fleet will keep pace with the waves!" Fernando said confidently.
It is often said that the emaciated camel, once had an invincible armada, dominating the sea, Spain, although defeated by the British and lost a large number of overseas colonies, but Spain is still one of the maritime powers.
Fernando had all the preparations for sailing at dawn, and twenty sail warships ahead of the rest of the world were ready to go.
Holding the precious Ponce nautical notebook in his hand, Count Fernando looked at the boundless sea, waved his hand and shouted: "For the honor of the Empire, for the glory of the Lord, go!" ”
There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and although the King of Spain has given the task to Count Fernando as secretly as possible, the news has spread.
As Spain's biggest rival, the British naturally planted many spies around the Spanish emperor, so the first to get the news was the British king.
Britain, which has a strong maritime power, has also been hit hard recently, and this matter has something to do with Li Nan, because the huge fleet of hundreds of warships of the East India Company was indirectly destroyed in his hands.
Hearing that the Spaniards had sent a fleet to find the Fountain of Youth, the English king could not sit still, and he did not want the Spaniards to obtain this legendary treasure of longevity.
The King of England now has money, soldiers, and ships, but he has no admirals other than the best admirals, especially those who are suitable for exploring and fighting on the seas.
As the number one maritime power at the time, the wealthy king of England quickly came up with a solution, which was to lure people with profits and reward them for bravery.
Those who succeed in helping the King of England in this task will receive a privateering license recognized by the British, a title of noble viscount, an overseas colonial fief, and a large sum of money.
After the bounty was issued, there were many servants, but the qualifications and strength of these people could not satisfy the king until the other two appeared.
The first person looked a little embarrassed, and he was disabled, but his origin was not small, this was the Caspian pirate king Barbossa, who escaped with a broken leg.
Barbossa was able to survive entirely because of Li Nan's kindness, if he hadn't sent a mutated blue whale to rescue, if he hadn't had that bottle of wound medicine to stop bleeding, I'm afraid he would have died in the sea long ago.
Not long after Barbossa arrived in England on a passing merchant ship, he heard about the British king's bounty order.
Having lost his ship and all his sailors, Barbossa now has few options, so he decides to go to the royal palace of the British king, hoping to take revenge with the help of British power.
Although Barbossa has a broken leg and his reputation as the Pirate King of the Caspian Sea is not very good, his strength and qualifications are there, and he is undoubtedly more suitable for this task than others.
Just when Barbossa became the most suitable candidate for the British king, the impoverished Pirate King of the Caribbean, Jack. Sparrow is here too.
Speaking of which, Captain Jack is a hapless fellow who spent 100 years of service with David in order to save the Black Pearl. Jones made a deal, but he only served as captain for three years before his first mate, Barbossa, instigated a rebellion among the sailors and exiled him to a desert island.
A few years later, Captain Jack struggled to recapture the Black Pearl, but it wasn't long before his creditor, David Jack, was able to recapture the Black Pearl. Jones sent the Norwegian Sea Monster to collect the debt and threw him into hell.
Finally killed Davy Jones, Jack thought that he could sail the 'Black Pearl' across the seven seas this time, but he didn't expect to be taken away by Barbossa again.
Wine is the best anesthetic for losers, and the drunken Jack lost his mind, and he was penniless, so he exchanged his most precious compass for a bottle of rum, and after he woke up, he was left with nothing.
A disabled Caspirate King and a desperate Pirate King of the Caribbean, these two pirate kings who have loved and killed each other for many years and are also friends and foes, finally meet in the palace of the King of England.
After learning that Barbossa had lost the 'Black Pearl', Jack was naturally furious, and the two immediately fought together, and in the end, it was the British king who calmed them down.
Although Barbossa and Jack are both pirates, they are not money-conscious people, but in order to avenge their revenge and recapture their 'Black Pearl', they both agreed to the British king's conditions and agreed to take people to find the Fountain of Youth.
Shortly after Count Fernando's Spanish fleet set sail, Barbossa and Jack set off with ten British sailboats, all destined for Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
The past few years have been the most unlucky time for pirates, and there is Davy, the king of the deep sea. Jones and his pet Norwegian sea monster, and later the Shadow Lord and his army of shadows, and not long after this all subsided, another terrifying creature appeared on the sea.
Just after a drunken Captain Jack voluntarily sold his magical compass, there was a burst of excited laughter from the Devil's Triangle, and a terrifying ghost ship with only its skeleton left rushed out of the fog.
Seeing the normal scenery again, the captain of the ghost ship looked up to the sky and roared, "All pirates are going to die, especially the damned Jack. Sparrow! ”
Since the appearance of this strange ghost ship, all the pirate ships passing through the Atlantic waters have been wiped out, and then this ghost ship has become even worse, even the merchant ships and warships of various countries have not spared, except for leaving a living mouth on each ship to convey information, the rest of the crew are all killed by the undead on the ghost ship.
Li Nan and the others did not know the news of the appearance of the ghost ship, because when he and Blackbeard were searching for clues to the Fountain of Youth, they encountered a powerful fleet led by Count Fernando of Spain.
Although the sea is boundless and vast, the two groups are looking for the same goal after all, so they naturally meet.
On one side were two pirate ships with obvious identities, and on the other side were the regular navy of Spain, and the officers and thieves did not need to say much when they met, and the battle had already begun at the same time as they discovered each other.
